new number ( # ) shorted
11,480,990
can pumps explain why number keeps rising?
thank you-
Because shorting is a desperate method of keeping stock price down (To short one sells the stock with the intention of buying shares back later at a lower price. As it is a sale price is pushed down; however if share prices rise, then shorts buy shares at a higher price and lose money.) No doubt some blind shorts still believe that the bids (which they told us would never occur) for Elk & Antelope gas fields will be so low priced that IOC's price will fall, which is a one heck of a stretch as IOC's price even now is very low relative to even a poor price bid for Elk & Antelope.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Sure. The number keeps going up because the shorts won't give up and cover at a loss. Most shorts are now under water. They keep shorting to keep the price down in the hope that some catastrophe will bail them out or that logic WILL NOT prevail. Each additional short compounds their problem. Someday those shares have to be bought back. From whom will the shorts buy? At what price? Why should this stock ever see $70 again?

When one isn't concerned about one's keister, one places very little emphasis on the spelling of one's keister.
Obviously, unlike you.Sentiment: Strong Buy
